And THAT is significant.
Right, fuck with the USA and you have about 10 years or more to hang out in a custom built mansion near the capital city of a country in the middle east before we find you. Meanwhile, we are going to spend a shitload of money and lives trying to find you at the same time, not accepting your surrender and continuing to fight in the wrong place. We are really efficient aren't we?
